Chapter 5: The Assassination of the Prince (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"What's going on, sister?" Mu Yunyin asked the panicked sister and third sister.
"Second sister, you really don't know?"
"Maybe they came back early and didn't meet them."
Mu Yunlan said on the side, her eyes showing fear.
"Something happened to the second sister, it turned out that the prince today also went to the Jilong Temple, and the prince was assassinated."
Mu Yunyin was shocked, Xiao Qiyi was in Jilong Temple, she saw it with her own eyes.
"Who is so bold as to assassinate the crown prince? You can't be mistaken, can you? ”
Mu Yunyin thought that they should not have had the opportunity to meet Xiao Qiyi before, but now that they have arrived in Jiankang, when they first come to the imperial capital, not everyone can see the prince if they want to.
"How could I be mistaken? There are people who look like palace guards shouting to arrest the assassin, and then there are people who look like palace maids screaming that the prince has been assassinated, don't you see it, outside the chicken coop temple, there is a panic. ”
"Did the assassin catch it?"
"I don't know, but I heard a lot of talk from people that it was a skilled man who stunned a coachman, changed the coachman's clothes, and used the carriage as a cover to stab him at the gate of the temple."
"Pity the prince, covered in blood and pale in the face."
"It turns out that the crown prince of our Daliang is so handsome."
Somehow, Mu Yunyin suddenly thought of the carriage he hired when he came back.
The coachman, with a bamboo hat on his head, covered most of his face, making it impossible to see his face.
Because of the assassination of the crown prince, the two sisters Mu Yunzhi were intercepted and checked one by one, so they had to go home when it was late.
After the two sisters Mu Yunzhi and Mu Yunlan left, Mu Yunyin's thoughts were confused, if Xiao Qiyi was assassinated, what would Xiao Yuyu do? Sister left only this only bloodline.
Mu Yunyin thought of her sister's illness and death, and when she came to the imperial capital with her mother to mourn, before turning back to Bashu, Xiao Qiyi once gave herself a jade plate, saying that in the future, Jiankang can use the jade card to freely enter and exit the palace gate and enter the East Palace freely.
The token that could enter and leave the East Palace was not carried with the ship, and was placed in the Shunan Palace's palace in southern Xinjiang.
After it was dark, my father came back with a calm face, which seemed to confirm the assassination of the prince.
Mu Yunyin went out to greet his father, and was thinking about not knowing how to ask about the assassination of the prince, when Mu Yunlan, who heard the voice, couldn't help but shout:
"Father, how is the crown prince? Are you healthy? Did the assassins catch it? ”
I didn't want my father's face to sink again, so he asked sharply:
"When did you know about the assassination of the prince?"
"I, I heard from the servants who were out of the house came back."
"Which of the servants who owed the slap came back and said that? The affairs of the royal family, you and other children can chew their tongues? ”
Mu Yunlan didn't expect that when she inquired about the prince, she was scolded by her father, and her delicate cheeks became more and more aggrieved.
Seeing her father so angry, Mu Yunzhi was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak, and she didn't know how to help the third sister.
Mu Yunyin took a few steps forward and knelt in front of his father.
"The father is angry, but the daughters are not sensible, but they chose June 19, the auspicious day of Guanyin's enlightenment, to go to the Jilong Temple to offer incense, and the central temple presided over the chanting for the mother to pray for the blessing of the whole family, and the daughters knew that they were wrong."
Mu Yunyin said, and took out the peace charm he asked for for his father in the Jilong Temple.
"Father, this is a peace charm that the daughter asked for her father."
"The girl also lit a longevity lamp for the old lady, donated incense money for the whole family, and prayed for the health and safety of the whole family."
Huang Li's words this time were really over-the-top, and he didn't say a word nonsense.
Mu Songyang took the peace charm held by his daughter's hands, and his face was pale.
"Get up, my father is afraid that you will get into trouble if you first come to the imperial capital."
"Thank you, father."
Huang Li hurriedly came over to help Mu Yunyin up, and Mu Yunzhi and Mu Yunlan glanced at Mu Yunyin gratefully.
Mu Yunyin wanted to ask his father how he could enter the East Palace to visit the imperial daughter and grandson, after all, he was now also the cousin of the imperial daughter Sun Xiao Yu, but after thinking about it, without summoning, no royal relatives outside the palace could enter the palace casually, so why bother his father.
Mu Yunyin's wish to enter the palace to visit her niece seemed to be difficult to fulfill.
The heavens fulfilled the wishes, June 24 is the birthday of the god of thunderstorms, the queen will lead the harem concubines, and some of the royal palace and courtiers of the noble daughters, outside the Fengqi Palace to worship the god of thunderstorms.
The daughter of the royal history Zhongcheng should be among the invitees.
On June 24, the two sisters, Mu Yunyin and Mu Yunzhi, dressed up early and waited for the soft sedan chair in the house to be sent to the palace.
Because the mourning period was less than three years, Mu Yunyin entered the palace and wore a plain blue and white two-color Luo skirt, with only a jasper orchid hairpin on her head.
In front of Empress Wang's Fengqi Palace, Mu Yunzhi witnessed the demeanor of Empress Daliang for the first time.
This queen of the world, although she is more than fifty years old, has a phoenix crown and a graceful and luxurious crown, and between her eyebrows, you can see the charm of the year.
Empress Wang once gave birth to the eldest son for the emperor, but unfortunately died young, and now, the second prince Xiao Qijin came to Fengqi Palace to walk around, please condole, very filial.
Xiao Qijin's biological mother, although she was born to a palace maid in the queen's palace, gave birth to a prince and was also named a concubine.
And Xiao Qijin is also quite talented and learned under the training of the queen, and has already opened a mansion to build a government, and was named King Chengjue and King Ping.
Among the noble girls, Mu Yunyin saw someone she hadn't seen for many years, Ye Shu'er, the daughter of King Shunan's favorite concubine, who was her half-sister in her previous life and cousin in this life.
The king of Shunan, who was ruthless to his mother, left Bashu and came to the imperial capital Jiankang, and he always took Ye Shuer's mother and daughter with him, and left his mother and concubine alone in Bashu, which is something that Mu Yunyin will never forgive.
How many nights, the mother concubine looked at the moon in the sky, with endless thoughts in her eyes, this is the mother concubine thinking about the negative man.
Although the mother concubine never complained or showed a trace of hatred, what woman in the world is willing to separate from her husband and let another woman take away her love?
At this time, Ye Shuer and that Xiao Qijin were together, smiling so brightly.
may be due to the death of Princess Shunan, Ye Shuer, as a concubine, is not embarrassed to dress brightly, but there is no trace of losing her mother on her smiling face.
This Xiao Qijin is also worthy of Ye Shuer's attention?
What if you have the queen behind you? In the palace, there are countless dangerous beaches, open guns and hidden arrows, it is impossible to prevent it, and the winner is the one who has the last laugh.
Maybe Mu Yunyin is dressed a little elegantly, and among the flowery concubines and nobles, she looks different, that Xiao Qijin kept glancing at Mu Yunyin, Mu Yunyin naturally didn't see it, and glanced to the side.
The fifth prince, Xiao Qixuan, the king of Qi, also came to Fengqi Palace, Mu Yunyin saluted this King of Qi, passed by, and prayed attentively with the queen's mother.
Among the concubines and nobles invited by the queen, Ye Wen'er was not seen, but it was a low-ranking Baolin who had just entered the East Palace, and the queen did not need to invite them one by one.
After worshipping the god of thunderstorms, Mu Yunyin made it clear to the queen that she wanted to visit her cousin niece, the princess Sun Xiaoyu.
The queen was gentle and considerate, and ordered the maidservants in the palace to take Mu Yunyin to the East Palace.
Standing outside the vermilion gate of Linze Palace, Mu Yunyin couldn't guess what the situation was inside the prince's mansion.
Entering the palace, Mu Yunyin only felt that Lin Ze Palace was too solemn and weird, and he was afraid that Xiao Qiyi would be injured a lot.
There is the prince's side concubine Cao Ruren, who has just come out of the Feiluan Pavilion of the princess and grandson, and the palace maid in the queen's palace left after being introduced.
When my sister died of illness, Xiao Yuyu was just a full moon, and now Yu Yu is four years old, and between her eyebrows, she has a charm similar to that of her sister.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
"Auntie is happy to see Yuyu."
"Isn't it to laugh to be happy? My aunt cried. ”
Mu Yunyin couldn't help but kiss Xiao Yuyu, after all, they were close relatives, and the two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time.
When the time was about to begin, Mu Yunyin and Yu Yu said goodbye and prepared to leave the Scales Palace.
stood up, turned around, and found that Xiao Qiyi was standing quietly behind her.
Xiao Qiyi, with eyes that seemed to be melancholy but were actually profound and bottomless, looked at Mu Yunyin quietly.
